History will never know that Trump grants clemency to more than 100 people, including Bannon MORE for the Nobel Peace Prize, according to a Reuters report.
Dershowitz, in a letter sent to the Nobel committee, argued that the work of Kushner and his deputy, Avi Berkowitz, in helping to negotiate diplomatic relations between Israel and the Arab nations is worthy of this distinction.
“The Nobel Peace Prize is not for popularity. Nor is it an assessment of what the international community can think of those who helped bring peace, “wrote Dershowitz.” It is an award for meeting the discouraging criteria set by Alfred Nobel in his will. “
Dershowitz is eligible to nominate individuals for the Nobel Prize based on his status as a professor emeritus at Harvard Law School, the vehicle reported.
Dershowitz, who is a contributor to The Hill, also cited the work of two others during the peace negotiations: former US ambassador to Israel David Friedman and former Israeli ambassador to the United States Ron Dermer.
Announced in August, the “Abraham Accords” was the first official peace agreement that normalized relations between Israel and the United Arab Emirates in decades.
“We encourage efforts to promote interfaith and intercultural dialogue to advance a culture of peace between the three Abrahamic religions and all of humanity,” the United States says of the deal on a state department website. “We believe that the best way to face the challenges is through cooperation and dialogue and that the development of friendly relations between States promotes the interests of a lasting peace in the Middle East and around the world.”
In a statement to Reuters, Kushner said he was “honored” with the nomination.
Trump and his supporters pointed to the deal as one of their main achievements during his single term.
Dershowitz defended Trump against two impeachment articles brought against him in early 2020 after a scandal stemming from a conversation he had with the Ukrainian leader.
